My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Armani!!  Born in July 2022, Armani is a Lab mix now seeking a forever home filled with unconditional love.  We want to get him into a REAL home where he can live his best life!!!  He is initially timid and wary of new faces, but he warms up quickly with patience and affection.  Armani, the epitome of cuteness and affection, craves the company of his humans, whether snuggled on the sofa or playing outdoors with his toys. His happiness knows no bounds as long as he is by your side.



Given his timid nature and ongoing journey to regain trust in the world, Armani would do best in a child-free environment, preferably where he is the only dog.  He needs a fenced yard to give him a secure space to release his energy.  Armani displays remarkable intelligence, making great strides in his training, nearly mastering commands like Sit and Lay Down.



Armani was taken in by a compassionate Muddy Paws volunteer.  He was found terrified in a bustling kennel, quivering in a corner, bewildered by the situation.  His moments seemed numbered, nearing what could have been his last hours.  Thankfully luck was on his side that day!  Help us give him another "best" day and apply to meet this sweet boy!




  • To help ensure Armani has the smoothest transition into his furever home, he will require a couple of sessions with one of our Positive Reinforcement/Relationship-based Trainers. Lucky for him, every dog adopted out through Muddy Paws Second Chance Rescue comes with lifetime free behavioral training with one of our Positive Reinforcement/Relationship-based Trainers!



The suggested adoption donation for Armani has been partially covered by a group of animal lovers who want to see Armani in a safe, loving home, his adjusted adoption donation is $150. Muddy Paws is a 501c3 non-profit organization meaning that part of your donation MAY be TAX DEDUCTIBLE. We are a 100% volunteer rescue committed to giving animals a second chance at life. All donations go toward that mission. Adoption fees are the primary source of funding for the cost of veterinary care for our animals.  In 2021 alone, we provided animal Healthcare totaling over $307,000 covered mainly through adoption fees.



Information about the adoption process: All adoptions require a completed ADOPTION APPLICATION. Once your application has completed our prescreen steps, we will put you in touch with the animal’s foster to see if you and the pet are a good match. If so, we will arrange a meeting for you and the animal. The adoptions for all of our animals will take place in the Omaha, NE area and must be done by the adoptive family in person. We do not ship or deliver. 



Adoptions for Armani are limited to the area within 50 miles of Omaha so that s/he can continue to take advantage of free training from our certified positive reinforcement trainer.



Please Note: We are a RESCUE, which is different from a shelter. We conduct veterinary and personal reference checks, and a Home Visit (Virtual in some cases) during the application approval process. We always select the right applicant for each animal, based on the animal’s needs. If you and the animal are not a good match, we will help you select another animal, or we will keep your approved application on file for 6 months.

More about this rescue

Muddy Paws Second Chance Rescue, Inc. is a not for profit organization formed in 2014 by a small group of devoted animal lovers, in the Council Bluffs/Omaha area, with many years of rescue experience wanting to make a difference in the lives of dogs. Our rescue focuses on small breed dogs, less than 35 pounds, of any age. It is all volunteer based, and all of our rescue dogs are living in the homes of our volunteers.
Our rescue is unique in that we offer supportive services, such as education and training, to owners considering relinquishing their pet in an effort to try to keep the dog in their home whenever possible. We also educate and offer placement assistance to owners attempting to rehome their pets through social media sites, which can often be risky for the pets as well as the owners.
